Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

node-sbs1

This is a node.js module that parses ASCII messages containing Mode S ADS-B aircraft data that is in "SBS-1 BaseStation port 30003" format. This format has become a semi-standard way of sending ADS-B data.

build status

SBS-1 messages are in a simple comma-delimited format. Here are some examples of the messages this module parses:

There's some documentation of the message format at http://woodair.net/SBS/Article/Barebones42_Socket_Data.htm

Here are some examples of using the module:

// Parse a string containing an SBS1 message.
var sbs1 = require('sbs1');
var s = 'MSG,3,496,211,4CA2D6,10057,2008/11/28,14:53:50.594,2008/11/28,14:58:51.153,,37000,,,51.45735,-1.02826,,,0,0,0,0';
var msg = sbs1.parseSbs1Message(s);
if (msg.message_type === sbs1.MessageType.TRANSMISSION &&
    msg.transmission_type === sbs1.TransmissionType.ES_AIRBORNE_POS) {
  console.log('coords: ' + msg.lat + ', ' + msg.lon);
}
// Connect to a server at localhost:30003 that is sending messages in SBS1
// format.  You can pass an options object containing host and port to
// createClient to connect to a different server/port.
var sbs1 = require('sbs1');
var client = sbs1.createClient();
client.on('message', function(msg) {
  if (msg.message_type === sbs1.MessageType.TRANSMISSION &&
      msg.transmission_type === sbs1.TransmissionType.ES_AIRBORNE_POS) {
    console.log('coords: ' + msg.lat + ', ' + msg.lon);
  }
});

Parsed messages

Parsed messages have the following fields:

|Field |Description | |-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------| |message_type |See MessageType. | |transmission_type|See TransmissionType. | |session_id |String. Database session record number. | |aircraft_id |String. Database aircraft record number. | |hex_ident |String. 24-bit ICACO ID, in hex. | |flight_id |String. Database flight record number. | |generated_date |String. Date the message was generated. | |generated_time |String. Time the message was generated. | |logged_date |String. Date the message was logged. | |logged_time |String. Time the message was logged. | |callsign |String. Eight character flight ID or callsign. | |altitude |Integer. [Mode C] 1 Altitude relative to 1013 mb (29.92" Hg). | |ground_speed |Integer. Speed over ground. | |track |Integer. Ground track angle. | |lat |Float. Latitude. | |lon |Float. Longitude | |vertical_rate |Integer. Climb rate. | |squawk |String. Assigned [Mode A] 1 squawk code. | |alert |Boolean. Flag to indicate that squawk has changed. | |emergency |Boolean. Flag to indicate emergency code has been set. | |spi |Boolean. Flag to indicate Special Position Indicator has been set. | |is_on_ground |Boolean. Flag to indicate ground squat switch is active. |

Not all message/transmission types will have values for all fields. Missing values will be represented by null or undefined (an empty comma-delimited value is null).

Parsed messages have generated_timestamp() and logged_timestamp() methods that parse the corresponding date and time fields and return Date objects.

MessageType

There are 6 types of SBS-1 messages represented by the MessageType enum:

|Enum |Value | |------------------|--------| |SELECTION_CHANGE|"SEL" | |NEW_ID |"ID" | |NEW_AIRCRAFT |"AIR" | |STATUS_AIRCRAFT |"STA" | |CLICK |"CLK" | |TRANSMISSION |"MSG" |

SELECTION_CHANGE, NEW_ID, NEW_AIRCRAFT, STATUS_CHANGE, and CLK indicate changes in the state of the SBS-1 software and aren't typically used by other systems.

TRANSMISSION messages contain information sent by aircraft.

TransmissionType

There are 8 subtypes of transmission messages, specified by the TransmissionType enum:

|Enum |Value|Description |Spec | |-----------------------|-----|-------------------------------|------------| |ES_IDENT_AND_CATEGORY|1 |ES identification and category |DF17 BDS 0,8| |ES_SURFACE_POS |2 |ES surface position message |DF17 BDS 0,6| |ES_AIRBORNE_POS |3 |ES airborne position message |DF17 BDS 0,5| |ES_AIRBORNE_VEL |4 |ES airborne velocity message |DF17 BDS 0,9| |SURVEILLANCE_ALT |5 |Surveillance alt message |DF4, DF20 | |SURVEILLANCE_ID |6 |Surveillance ID message |DF5, DF21 | |AIR_TO_AIR |7 |Air-to-air message |DF16 | |ALL_CALL_REPLY |8 |All call reply |DF11 |

Only ES_SURFACE_POS and ES_AIRBORNE_POS transmissions will have position (latitude and longitude) information.
